Be Eligible to The Scholarship:

There is no how you could win a scholarship without been Eligible for it. The first step is to completely digest the Eligibility Criteria. Make sure you meet all the requirements demanded by the committee. If you are not sure any of the criteria, contact the board of Chevening for clarity. Here is a summary of the Chevening Scholarship Eligibility Criteria.

The applications should be at Least two months before Deadline:

In other words ‘apply early’. Chevening scholarship has deadline From August to September each year. The testimonies so far have shown that early application is key to their success. The month you applied doesn’t matter but the fact remains to APPLY BEFORE THE DEADLINE.

Be enthusiastic.

A Chevening Scholarship pays all your expenses to study and live in the UK. The UK is pleased to inform you that they have four of the top eight universities in the world. And the UK is a great country to live in. If you can’t show the interview panel that you are enthusiastic about living and studying in the UK fully funded, then I have to question why you’re applying in the first place.

Sell yourself:

We compiled this Secret from past winners, and here’s a powerful one from Petite Diva

“I was confused about what the scholarship panel wanted from me. I consulted an alumnus of this university that was also awarded a scholarship when he was here and he said ‘you have to sell yourself’. You have to show that you are worth the award. Some of the guys I interviewed said you need to show all that you have done in terms of experience, previous awards if you have been given, any volunteer work, how good you were during your undergraduate studies (for example if you were in the top 10% of your class when graduating). I had written the answers I thought were perfect when I asked him and I was like ‘wow! I have to hype myself’. It was strange for me because I usually like my work to speak for me.“

Be Concise:

The Application is no ground for Exchange of pleasantries or pouring your sympathetic situations in writing. The Board expects you to go straight to the point That was a struggle for me because I like to yap (talk) or write a lot (that is one of the reasons I started blogging.

Facebook and Twitter’s words restriction was not doing it for me…lol). So having to convey my message in 50, sometimes 100 words, was really hard. I can say I rewrote my answers more than 50 times. I kept writing, editing, rewriting, editing over and over. I wanted to convey my thoughts without losing any part of it. I think that a dictionary or Google is helpful with rephrasing words.

All Information Provided Must Be Truth:

All falsified information has totally disqualified you. Never exaggerate any scenario or any of your qualification.

It does not all require that you are expected to fill. But try as much as possible to get the right information across to the board. And there was a question where it was asked ‘how would the scholarship help you?’ One of my reasons was ‘I won’t be able to afford to study here’. There was no need beating about the bush. It was the plain truth.

Check your spelling and word phrasing:

You are applying for a scholarship in an English – speaking country, you must be agreed with your tenses. Make sure you re-read every sentence for more than ten times and give every sentence a thought. It is better to take a long time to write your application answers than to make silly mistakes.
